Hi Megan, I love all great art. These paintings are inspired by 18th and 19th c. hand colored engravings. They are probably replicated in China......Why not go to the original hand-colored engravings? That way you retain the value of your investment or possibly increase it. And can add to a collection of engravings as more are discovered on inspired search missions. There is a subtleness in the original engravings that simply cannot be captured in replicated oils. But these Oly paintings due appear to be well done. Loved the last "Skirted Round Table".Thanks for all of your work and blogs.

Mary, you're so right. There seems to be a definite trend in art work inspired by 18th and 19th century treasures. I love how the reproductions are much larger and only a portion of the original piece. It creates a modern vibe to the look.
